The GIMP team has announced GIMP 2.9.2, the first major update to the open-source image-editing software in over three years, and one that brings significant improvements for professional artists.
New features in the update include support for images with 16 and
32-bits-per-channel colour, basic support for OpenEXR files,
GPU-accelerated image processing and rendering, and two new transform
tools.Now based on the GEGL image-processing library
Many of the features in the release arise from the ongoing port of the GEGL image-processing engine to GIMP .
Originally created in 2000 by developers at Rhythm & Hues, GEGL (GIMP E Graphical Library) was used in the studio’s VFX-focused Film GIMP image-editing software, since renamed CinePaint.
Work porting GEGL to GIMP itself began in 2007, with the library
initially used to handle colour correction, filters, and flattened
representations of stacked layers.Support for 32-bits-per-channel floating-point colour and OpenEXRs

In the upcoming GIMP 2.10, GEGL usage is being expanded to “pretty much
everything under the hood”, with 2.9.2 functioning as a technical
preview.
Even so, that means a number of features professional artists have
wanted for a long time, including support for 32-bits-per-channel
floating-point colour when importing or exporting PNG, TIFF, PSD and
FITS files.
The update also introduced “basic” support for the OpenEXR file
format – GIMP doesn’t support layered OpenEXRs yet – and an on-canvas
preview for many filters instead of the tiny existing preview window.
In general, performance looks likely to be better in GIMP 2.9.2 than
the 2.8.x releases thanks to OpenCL-based GPU-accelerated rendering and
image-processing, although this is still described as “experimental”.New transform tools, improved Blend and Foreground Select tools
The update makes GIMP’s existing tools GEGL-based, and able to function in 32-bits-per-channel precision.
The Blend tool has been updated to make the colour gradients it
creates editable, while the Foreground Select tool can now make subpixel
selections in “complex cases such as stray hairs on textured
backgrounds”.
In addition, there are a number of new tools, including two
considered “mostly complete”: a Warp Transform tool designed to replace
the old, and very limited, IWarp plugin; and a new Unified Transform
tool.
Other experimental tools, including N-Point Deformation, a more advanced clone tool, and a new brush tool based on MyPaint‘s brush engine, can be enabled manually by users.Improvements to painting, colour management and layer blending
Painting has also been improved, with brushes getting Hardness and Force
sliders on top of the existing Opacity, Size, Aspect Ratio and Angle
options; and the option to lock brush size to zoom.
As shown above, artists can also now flip or rotate the canvas while painting, rather than just the image itself.
In addition, the colour management plugin has been replaced with
“completely new code”, finally enabling GIMP to handle cases when one
image is pasted into another with a different colour space.
Layer handling has also been updated: the Overlay mode “is not
identical to Soft Light any more”, while layer blending can now use LCH/LAB colour space as well as HSV.
And finally, support for metadata has been introduced with an
“experimental” dialog to view data using the Exif, XMP and IPTC
standards.Better Wacom support, non-destructive image editing to come
The GIMP team has also posted news of its roadmap for future releases.
Although no timescale is given, GIMP 2.10 will complete GEGL support,
while 3.0 will “restore rock-solid Wacom support on Windows and OS X”,
and 3.2 will introduce non-destructive image editing.Availability
Although the blog post announcing GIMP 2.9.2 says that binaries are available on GIMP’s Downloads page, at time of posting, only GIMP 2.8 was available – at least for Windows or Mac OS X.
Linux users may have more luck with the GIMP package included in
their distros, and anyone who really needs to test the new features now
can compile GIMP 2.9.2 from the source code.

Resizer helps to resize images without destructing or cutting the
content. It will scale a photo without changing its main visual content:
people, buildings, animals and other objects. Unlike other resizing
programs, which affect all pixels while scaling a picture, Intelligent
Resizer affects pixels in areas that do not have important visual
content.
Intelligent Resizer also allows you to “fix” the aspect ratio of a
photo. It folds the image so that it will still look natural and will
retain the quality, integrity and spirit of the original. In order to
preserve important objects you simply select them and run the resizing,
the rest is done automatically. Moreover, Intelligent Resizer can change
the spacing between main objects as well as remove objects from image
like you’d fold a paper photo. Creating square images for Instagram
without cropping is also possible with the app!

Pixlr is available from Autodesk, which makes some pretty powerful software tools across several professions.
Pixlr is actually available in four different versions as web apps:

Pixlr Express

Pixlr Editor

Pixlr O-Matic

Pixlr Touch Up

Each has a different focus and toolset. For example, Pixlr Editor
gives you the full power of layer-based editing (like Photoshop), while
Pixlr O-Matic provides instant filters and adjustments for a vintage
look (like Instagram). They all have their place and for many, what
Autodesk offers in its Pixlr suite will be enough for any online image
editing you need.

While I mentioned simplicity in online editors at the start, Polarr
is probably the one that is closest to a professional toolset. The
controls look and work like the Adobe’s professional Lightroom app,
which runs $150. You can use Polarr in your browser or install it as a
Chrome app. It’s also available on iOS.

Stepping way back to the basic photo editing is Canva, which is
actually more of a design tool. There are tons of great, free design
templates and backgrounds that you can add your images to. But there are
also some premium ones that you’ll have to pay for.
If you’ve got a small business or some other effort that you are
trying to promote, Canva will probably help you do that job better than
you can on your own if you don’t possess the skills for creating your
own designs.

Fotor is a more basic flash editor with a very simple an easy-to-use
toolset. You won’t get the power and finesse that you get out of Pixlr
Editor or Polarr but the learning curve is basic.
It’s easy to make basic adjustments or pick from presets. You can add
frames and text as you move through the editing tabs as well.

PicMonkey is a lot like Fotor in terms of the layout and ease of use.
One cool feature I noticed immediately in PicMonkey is the ability to
edit a photo with the appropriate dimensions for a Facebook cover photo,
which is currently 851 x 315. In the crop too, just select the Facebook
Timeline preset and it will give the right proportions.
You have to live with a constant ad to the right of your edit space, but again, this is free.

Photobucket has a fairly rudimentary editor compared to some of these
other tools but it has the basics covered and it has a decent selection
of filters. While I would probably choose Fotor or PicMonkey as a
simple editor over Photobucket, there are tons of printing and products
you can order direct from the Photobucket interface.

The Photoshop Express editor proves loads of editing tools and those
familiar with Photoshop may be more comfortable here. It actually has
local adjustment tools like dodge and burn as well.
Clicking Auto Correct will give you a series of images that Photoshop
thinks will work the best of your photo. You can mouse over each
preview to see it apply to your larger image. When you find one you
like, just click to apply the effect. The other effects work the same
way but the popular retro presets we find in other editors aren’t
present in Photoshop Express. You can also add text, along with stickers
and speech bubbles in the “Decorate” tab.

Сreate unique mosaic collages from photos in the automatic mode with Artensoft Photo Collage Maker. Just take a look at the gallery prepared by Artensoft team,
where each collage was effortlessly created with the help of the
program. It is the only product of this type, which automatically
creates mosaic collages with elements of different sizes accurately
inserted into the base image, depending on the detail level selected by
the user.

HitFilm is an all-in-one program, bringing together video editing, 3D compositing and visual effects functionality into a single application.
Last year, FXhome released Hitfilm 2 Express:
a free edition of its editing, compositing and visual effects software.
It proved so popular that the developer has just done the same thing
with version 3.
HitFilm 3 Express, out today, contains the application’s core functionality, and is licensed for commercial use.A powerful editing and effects tool in its own right
As with its predecessor, HitFilm 3 Express is a cut-down version of the current commercial version of the software, HitFilm 3 Pro, but it’s still a pretty powerful application in its own right.
For a start, you get the core editing and 3D compositing
functionality from the Pro edition, plus 157 built-in 2D and 3D effects,
including greenscreen, grading, and a range of lights and flares.
It’s also a GPU-accelerated app, and one designed to run on
relatively modest hardware: the minimum system is an Intel Core-i3 CPU
or AMD equivalent, 4GB RAM and Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics.Custom training from Film Riot
There’s also some nice training material to help you get started, based around Portal Combat, Film Riot‘s new VFX short, created exclusively using HitFilm 3 Express, which you can see at the top of the story.
You can download the source footage from FXhome’s website, and view a
series of video tutorials designed to have you “editing like a pro in
no time. Or at least like someone who’s followed an editing tutorial.”So what are the limitations?
Not surprisingly, there are some restrictions on what you can do in
Express. First off, some of the content from the commercial edition has
been split out into a range of paid-for extension packs.
These include both themed FX types (film damage, light flares, sci-fi
effects, and so on) and specific toolsets, including advanced grading,
noise removal, the particle engines and 3D model support.
Mocha HitFilm, the version of Imagineer Systems’ planar-tracking
technology integrated into the Pro version of the software, is also a
paid add-on, as is import of Dolby AC3 and AVCHD video.
In addition, there are some things you can only do in the
Pro edition, like exporting in OpenEXR format or at a resolution over
1080p – the Pro version bumps the limit up to 4K.
There are also 12 effects that are exclusive to the Pro edition, as are HitFilm 3’s new effects plugins for Vegas Pro, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects and Motion.

PhotoScissors removes backgrounds from still images. You will be able to
cut out a person or an object from an image quickly and paste it to
another picture, and remove background from a photo. You will not need
any specific skills or professional software to clip an image: few mouse
strokes make an accurate clipping path that can be further enhanced
with fine brushes.
Cutting out a background is a popular picture editing procedure. You
may need it in many cases, for example, when uploading product pictures
to eBay, preparing photos for job seeking websites or dating sites,
replacing a boring background with a more picturesque one or a solid
color, creating photo jokes, collages, retouching tourism photos for fun
or for better impression and many more.
